It was lovely to hear how the children are demonstrating our Cannon Park Values during assembly this morning. Teamwork came out as a popular value this week. Here are some of our winners:
Making Pizza
As part of European Language Day, Year 1 made their own pizzas with a variety of toppings.
European Language Day
To celebrate European Language Day, Year 6 made their very own salsa. The children demonstrated excellent teamwork skills as well as discipline in translating the instructions from Spanish. Aside from a few tears while the onions were being chopped, everyone had a great time!
Wildlife Club
A group of adventurous children enjoyed taking part in an informative and exciting after school club to learn more about wildlife. This week, we made bird nests using natural materials found in the school grounds.
Librarian of the Year Finalist
Congratulations to our very own Mrs Cleveland, who has made it onto to the Honour List for the School Library Association (SLA) School Librarian of the Year Award 2018. The SLA School Librarian of the Year Award is the School Library Association’s honour to recognize the “excellent work” that is carried out in school libraries every day and highlight the best practice of those whose work is outstanding.
The SLA said of the librarians: “These are four exceptional school librarians; each has made a huge difference to the lives of the students and people they work with, igniting a passion for reading, setting students on a learning journey, teaching them essential skills, as well as supporting staff and reaching out to the wider community. Any one of these four would be a worthy winner of the SLA School Librarian of the Year Award.”
The work of the librarians will be celebrated at a ceremony held on 9th October 2018 in Covent Garden, when Blue Peter Book Award Winner Lauren St John will announce the SLA School Librarian of the Year 2018.
Joe Wicks Workout
Year 3 joined in with Joe Wicks to complete a weekly workout during PE this week. There were some very tired faces at the end, Mr Kelley included!
Sports Day
Sports Day was a great success. In the glorious sunshine, the children enjoyed racing in a variety of races. Thank you to the many parents, who came to watch the fierce competition.
Science Day
Year 5/6 enjoyed an afternoon of science as part of Science Week.
Come on England!
World Cup fever has spread across the school today as everyone dressed in red and white to support England against Tunisia this evening.
Tennis Tournament
Last week, a group of Year 5/6 children enjoyed taking part in a tennis tournament. Everyone had a great time and represented the school extremely well.
